  1. A lot of things happen in a week

    · Tishy · 03/10/2007 03:22 PM

    So, I was suppossed to be taking these licensing courses. Well, I got a promotion and they got pushed back until the end of May. I start the course in the end of May. I am in training for a month until the end of April. So I will start writing again. I am excited to start again. I did need that break to bring things together. I apologize for starting and stopping again. I will have to stop when I start the tests, but for the time being, I will get a few episodes a week out.

    Expect at least one this weekend.

    Thank you everyone for your patience, and keep reading all the blogs!

  2. With Great Regret....

    · Tishy · 03/03/2007 10:17 PM

    I am going to have to stop writing the blog for the time being. I just have way too much on my plate right now to continue. I work in customer service in an inbound call center. I have to take special licensing (called the Series 6 and the 63) to continue at my job. The time that I would have for writing will be spent studying. When it is over in a few months, I will be back and writing as much as possible. I am in the middle of stories that I believe in and that I can make grow. So if you have been a reader of mine, thank you. If you haven't, take the time to catch up and read back. You may like it!

    Take care!

  3. Episode 44: Seduction!

    · Tishy · 02/07/2007 04:02 PM

    AJ and Sarah had spent the morning and early afternoon in bed making love. They fell in and out of sleep in between lovemaking. Sarah woke up in the early afternoon and lightly kissed AJ’s brow and giggled. He smiled and gathered her in his arms. “Oh sweetheart, you wore me out!”

    “That’s what newlyweds are supposed to do.” Replied a sated Sarah. She stretched like a cat who was being scratched on her belly.

    “I love you Sarah” AJ said tenderly.

    “I love you.” She looked deep in his eyes. “You have no idea how much I love you. I am so glad we left Santa Barbara and came back to Port Charles. I had so many demons there.”

    AJ kissed her, “Hush. You are with me now. He has no hold over you now. If I ever found that bastard I would kill him.”

    Sarah brushed his hair away from his brow, “Which is precisely why I won’t tell you who it is. I am just sorry that, you know.” Sarah hid her face in AJ’s chest.

    AJ lifted her chin up and gazed into her eyes, “It’s ok Sarah. I know it’s not your fault.” He leaned over and kissed her passionately several times. When they broke apart, he said, “Brenda told me that Carly is in Australia with Jax. I would like to see Michael. I don’t want to intrude on his life. I have already messed up his life enough. I just want to see him.”

    Sarah trailed her hand down his arm, “I know, but it would be nice to see your son.”

    “True. I will just extend the olive branch so to speak. Carly has every right not to trust me.” He sighed deeply. “I would also like my father to see him. I know it would cheer him up. I will have to get Carly’s number and call her. Do you want to head over to the hospital with me and see my father?”

    “Yes. Do you think we can stop and see Elizabeth too? She gets out of the hospital today. I love the name Ava.” Sarah said, “You should have seen it, Lucky and Nikolas were watching the Super Bowl and trying to talk to Elizabeth. It was pretty funny.”

    AJ kissed his bride, “Of course. I love you.”

    Sarah kissed him back, “I love you.”


    The Spencer House was full of activity. Luke, Laura, Lulu, Lucky, Robert, Robin, Patrick, Dillion, Justus, Lainey, Bobbie, Noah, and Nikolas were there helping with the campaign. Luke was leading the way, telling everyone what to do. Buttons were being made, flyers being drawn up to be passed around and sent out. Nikolas had commissioned a TV director to make commercials with Laura in them, which were going to be shot that day. The commercials were going to be aired on all the channels in the Port Charles area. The air was full of excitement to get Laura elected Mayor.

    “Hey mate, what do you want me to do with these buttons? We have quite a few of them done here.” Robert yelled to Luke.

    “Scorpio, take your prodigal daughter and her doctor boyfriend and go down to Kelly’s, then MetroCourt and pass them out. Don’t forget to say “Vote for Laura!” Luke yelled. “Give them to everyone you see!”

    Robert yelled back, “Spencer, why am I doing this again? It’s freezing out.”

    “You are right. Robin, you stay inside. Make the men stay outside. Tell your no good father that we want to beat Baldwin and that my wife can run this city better than any mayor since, well me.” Luke shouted.

    Robin laughed, “Was I even born when you were Mayor Luke?”

    “Oh but it was an exciting time. Have your father tell you some stories to pass the time. Oh, take some flyers with you as well.” Luke commanded.

    When Robert, Patrick and Robin left, Lulu, Dillion, Lainey, and Justus were all calling people to ask to vote for Laura. Nikolas had installed a multi line phone in the house to accommodate the needs of the campaign. He and Lucky were addressing flyers to be sent out in the mail.

    The door flew open and Scott came in. “Enemy on the premises!” Luke yelled.

    “Can it Spencer.” Scott said. “I want to know why you are doing this. Why the write in campaign.”

    Laura came forward, “Scott, I think that I can be a better Mayor than you and Ric. Plain and simple.”

    “Oh please.” Scott said disgustedly, “Anyone could see that Luke sprung this on you and you had no idea that he was going to do this.” He looked around the house at all the cameras and electronic equipment. “Must be nice to have a gazillionaire son to finance this.”

    “Oh you stop right now Baldwin and get the hell out of my house.” Luke said. “You are just afraid that a woman, your ex wife will do a better job than you.”

    “Hardly.” Scott said sarcastically. “But you are right, I will take my leave. May the best person win.” Scott slammed the door to the Spencer House and dialed a number. “Hey, I think it’s time you and I met. How about an hour?” Scott shut his phone and walked off.


    Robert was outside the MetroCourt handing out buttons when Tracy approached. “Hey Tracy. How are you?”

    Tracy sniffed, “Seeing that my brother is in the hospital, not well. What do you have in your hand there Commissioner?”

    Robert passed her a pin. “Vote for Laura.”

    Tracy looked at him scornfully and said, “Oh please. You really expect me to vote for Luke Spencer’s wife? You are already the Commissioner. What will this town be coming to if a Spencer is Mayor.”

    “Come now Tracy,” Robert smirked, “You know I am a damn good Commissioner. I keep the burglars away from your house.”

    Tracy pulled the scarf up on her coat, “Oh please. Your brother is better.”

    Robert smiled sideways, “That is yet to be determined Tracy.”

    Tracy huffed, “Mr. Scorpio, I am going inside to have a cup of coffee and some soup.”

    “Great, I’ll join you.” Robert said, completely forgetting about Laura’s campaign. Surprisingly, Tracy didn’t object.


    Emily walked into the Spencer House with one thing on her mind. She saw Lulu and asked where Lucky was. Lulu pointed to the stairs and Emily glanced around. Seeing that no one was noticing her, she stealthy made her way upstairs and towards Lucky’s old bedroom. She opened the door.

    Lucky was sitting on the bed and he looked up, “Hi Emily. What are you doing here?”

    “Looking for you. I heard Elizabeth had her baby and was wondering how you were taking it.”

    Lucky sighed, “You know Emily, I thought I would be ok. I even talked to a shrink about it. But when I saw her and Jason holding that baby, I bolted. I couldn’t take the fact that for six months, I believed that baby was mine.”

    Emily sat down next to him on the bed. “I understand. It had to be hard.” Emily said sympathetically, running her hands over his back.

    “You have no idea. My heart broke all over again.” Lucky stated.

    “I wish that there was something I could do Lucky.” Emily moved closer to him.

    Lucky turned to Emily, “Just being my friend is enough. You are the only one who has supported me throughout the whole thing. Not even my brother is supporting me. He and I are barely speaking.”

    Emily looked away, upset. “Yeah well, Nikolas broke up with me. We aren’t getting married basically because of Elizabeth.”

    Lucky drew Emily into a hug, “Oh Emily, I am so sorry. I know how much you love Nikolas. This has got to be hard. Want me to talk to Nikolas, get him to see reason?”

    Emily started to cry softly, “There is no use. Thank you Lucky though.” She looked up at him and gazed into his eyes.

    “Um, no problem Emily.” He realized that he was still holding her and brushed her hair back. “Emily, you don’t deserve this. You are too good a person to have to go through all of this.”

    “Neither do you. Neither one of us deserves this.” She leaned over and lightly brushed her lips over his. She leaned back to see his reaction. She saw desire in his eyes. He leaned forward, tightened his grasp around her and drew her closer. They started to kiss passionately and fell back onto the bed.

  4. Episode 43: A Super Bowl Baby

    · Tishy · 02/04/2007 10:05 PM

    Robin walks into MetroCourt looking for Brenda. It had been a while since the two of them had seen each other and talked. Robin sits down and orders a cup of tea. Five minutes pass before Brenda strolls in. “Hi Robin!” Brenda takes her leather jacket off, “How are you?”

    Robin sips her tea, “I am good. The house is finally all put together and you should be getting an invitation shortly to our party.”

    “Great! I told Sonny about it and he and I are going to come together. Ned found out about us so there really is nothing to hide anymore.” Brenda confided.

    “You’re kidding.” Robin leaned forward, “Ned must not have been happy.”

    Brenda shook her head, “He wasn’t. I told him I want to move out, which is something that Sonny and I discussed.”

    Robin interrupted, “You aren’t moving in with Sonny are you?”

    “Oh no.” Brenda paused and ordered a tea and a salad, “I want to live on my own with my son. I have tried to talk to Ned about it, but with Alan being so sick, it hasn’t been the right time. I have found a small house that I want to rent. It’s small, just three bedrooms, perfect for James and me. It’s actually near your house.”

    Concerned, Robin leaned back in her chair, “As long as you know what you are doing Brenda. I have seen what Sonny has done to you in the past. I don’t want to see him hurt you again.”

    “Everyone keeps saying that.” Brenda confided, “But I am older and my priorities are straight.” She took a bite of her salad. “Oh, did I tell you, I have an appointment with Scott Baldwin to discuss custody of James.”

    Robin was stunned, “Are you sure you should do that Brenda? Have you talked to Ned about this? Because this just sounds like Sonny talking.”

    Brenda waved her fork around, “No, it’s not Sonny talking.” She said succinctly. “Let’s stop talking about me and Sonny. How’s Patrick?”

    “I don’t know,” Robin said slowly. “The last couple days he has been sort of weird. Like he’s pulling away. I don’t really know how to approach him about it.”

    “What do you mean pulling away?”

    Robin sipped her tea again, “It’s like he is a million miles away. I ask him a question and he brushes me off. Something is bothering him and I don’t know what it is.” Robin paused a minute, “Brenda, he doesn’t even want to have sex right now.”

    Brenda toyed with her tea cup, “Well, have you asked him about it?”

    “I don’t know what to say to him. I don’t know how to start the conversation. I know he loves me, otherwise why would he surprise me with a house.” Robin stated matter of factly.

    “All I can say is be truthful. Ask him if something at work happened. Maybe something happened that you aren’t aware of.” Brenda reasoned.

    “True,” Robin glanced at her watch, “I have to go meet my father. Did you see the debate yesterday? I promised that I would help Laura so I am meeting my father and going to the Spencer House.”

    “I know, that was pretty wild.” Brenda said, standing up and hugging her friend. “Talk to Patrick, it’s probably nothing. Just your imagination. Just talk to him.”

    “And you, be careful. Give my best to Sonny.” Robin hugged Brenda back.


    Emily walked into Wyndemere in search of Nikolas. She desperately wanted to patch things up with him. She felt that her grasp on her life was slipping away and she needed to control that. She walked through the foyer and into his study, where he sat, his back to her. “Nikolas, can I talk to you?” Emily asked softly.

    Nikolas slowly turned around, “What do you want Emily? I thought we said everything that needed to be said.”

    Emily walked closer to him, “Nikolas I am sorry. I shouldn’t have said what I said. You are right, I am jealous of Elizabeth. I am angry at her and I shouldn’t take it out on you.”

    “You’re right Emily, you shouldn’t.” Nikolas walked around his desk and sat down on the couch, “You have nothing to be jealous of. Elizabeth is my sister in law. I am just helping her out.”

    Emily dropped her head, her hair flying forward, “I know that in my heart, but I can’t help feeling that she is going to try to steal you away from me. She has Jason at the snap of her fingers. You too. She probably only has to smile pretty and Lucky will take her back.”

    “Uncalled for Emily.” Nikolas scolded. “That is completely unfair and you know it.”

    “I just don’t know why she has to stay here.” Emily pleaded.

    “Emily, where else would she go?”

    “I don’t know, the Brownstone maybe? I want to work at getting back together with you but it won’t work with her in this house. If you want to get back together, she has to go.” Emily issued the ultimatum.

    Nikolas stood up and said in an exasperated tone, “Seriously Emily, if you want to get back together than you have to change your attitude towards Elizabeth. I don't take kindly to ultimatiums. Don’t you trust me?”

    “I do but…”

    Emily was interrupted when Elizabeth slowly walked into the room, “Nikolas, I am in labor. My pains are about ten minutes apart and I called the doctor. Can you drive me in?”

    “Of course I will. Where is your suitcase?” Nikolas grabbed his keys from his desk, Emily completely forgotten.

    “By the door.” Elizabeth grimaced in pain as a contraction racked her body.

    Emily threw her arms up in anger. “Oh perfect. Again you run to Elizabeth’s rescue when I need you. You realize that you haven’t even asked me how my father is!” Emily half shouted.

    Nikolas apologized, “I’m sorry Emily. Sarah was here and told us how he was and I am glad he is getting better. Now I have to get Elizabeth to the hospital. Can’t you see that?” He turned to Elizabeth, “Alison knows that we are leaving?” Elizabeth nodded. “Good.” With that he guided Elizabeth out the door.

    Emily watched the two of them leave and stomped her foot in frustration.


    Hours had passed and Elizabeth was in full labor. Jason, Lucky and Nikolas, along with Sarah were in the delivery room with her. Lucky and Nikolas were watching the Super Bowl while Jason paced back and forth. Sarah tried to keep conversation going by discussing baby names. “Liz, since you are probably having this baby today, you should name it after one of the teams or something close to it.”

    Jason looked at Sarah and said quietly, “No.”

    “If it’s a boy or a girl, I am NOT naming this child Peyton. I hate that name.” Elizabeth said.

    One of the doctors came in and examined Elizabeth. “Ok Elizabeth, you are 10 centimeters dilated. It’s time to start pushing. You can only have one person in here though.”

    Elizabeth looked imploringly at Lucky who silently agreed to leave. Jason stayed behind and Bobbie came in to help with the delivery. “Ok Elizabeth, once you feel the contractions, we want you to start to push, ok?” Bobbie said.

    Elizabeth nodded and when the next contraction came, she pushed hard. “Great job Elizabeth.” Bobbie encouraged.

    Jason held her hand and wiped her forehead with a cloth, “You are doing great Liz.”

    “Arrgghhhh” Elizabeth grunted as she pushed again. Over and over she pushed for close to thirty minutes before her baby was born.

    Elizabeth was crying as the baby was lifted onto her stomach. “Elizabeth, it’s a girl. A beautiful baby girl.” Jason cried, he too wiping away tears. He cut the umbilical cord and Bobbie took the baby to clean her off. “Oh Elizabeth she is gorgeous.”

    “I want to hold her.” Elizabeth cried. Soon Bobbie brought her over and Elizabeth and Jason gazed with love at their child. “She is beautiful.”

    “Elizabeth we never discussed a name for her.” Jason whispered, kissing her forehead.

    Elizabeth cuddled her child to her and leaned back against the pillows, “How about Ava Catherine? She looks like an Ava to me. Ava Catherine Morgan sounds good.”

    Jason repeated it to himself a few times and broke into a smile, “I like it a lot. Ava it is. Want me to bring in everyone?”

    Bobbie was near the door and overheard Jason, “I’ll do it. Jason, you hold your daughter.” Jason took Ava and kissed her forehead as she let out a howl. Nikolas and Sarah rushed into the room while Lucky stood rooted at the door, taking in the closeness of Jason and Elizabeth. He caught Elizabeth’s eye. His expression glazed over in anger and he turned on his heel and left.

    This episode is dedicated to Ava Catherine, born December 28, 2005 and passed December 28 2005. You will always be loved

While Sonny goes to call Alexis to meet him at the hospital, Carly hugs Jason. She tells him that she will be staying the night with him, no ifs ands or buts. Rather than fight her, he agrees. However, he wants to stop and see his daughter first. Carly sighs, and agrees. Jason and Carly bid farewell to Sonny and leave.

    ~Before Alexis gets to the hospital, Sonny wants to see Luke. He checks in on Brenda and tells her he will be right back. Sonny tracks down Luke and tells him that Brenda confirmed that it was Sam and Alexis is on the way. He promises Luke that he will help him in any way possible. ANY WAY.

    ~Alexis and Scott meet Sonny in the hallway as he is heading back to Brenda’s room. Sonny gently tells Alexis that Sam is alive and is believed to be with Helena. That Helena is behind the shootings tonight. Alexis doesn’t believe it at first, then breaks down first in joy that her daughter is alive and then in horror that Helena has her. Alexis insists that Sonny take Kristina and Molly for the night. He agrees. Sarah comes out and tells him that Brenda is being discharged. Sonny tells Alexis that they will all be at his penthouse, Brenda included.

    ~Alexis excuses herself and goes into the bathroom. While Scott isn’t looking, she runs out of the hospital and jumps into her car. Making sure she isn’t followed, she drives out of Port Charles. She drives several miles until she reaches a mountain. She drives up the mountain and through the gate. She barges through the door and comes face to face with Helena. “Where is my daughter?” she demands.

    “Samantha. Please come here.” Helena says in a commanding voice. “Please say hello to your mother.”

    In a cold voice, Sam says, “I don’t have a mother.”

  7. Change in Format

    · Tishy · 02/23/2007 03:06 PM

    I am going to be changing the format to a summary format. Due to real life stresses and my job responsibilities increasing, I will not be able to write as much. The choice was either to stop altogether or change the format. I will not be writing as much, maybe a couple times a week. I do appreciate all my readers and I will try to better my writing. Please, any feedback is welcome. Thank you!

  8. Episode 42: The Mayoral Debate

    · Tishy · 02/03/2007 05:47 PM

    The Quartermaines, including Sarah and Brenda, gathered in a waiting room off the ICU. Dr. Hayward sat down across from them, a serious look on his face. “Thank you all for coming here. I have to get back to Pine Valley but I wanted to go over the treatment for Alan. He is on his way to recovery, but that doesn’t mean he won’t have a relapse. He will be here in the hospital for a long time.”

    David paused and looked around the room, “He will need speech therapy for one. He is going to need to learn how to walk again. The simple things that we take for granted, Alan will need help for.”

    Edward moaned into his hand, “Noooo, not my son. I can’t bear to see this happen to my son.”

    “He’s alive Father, we should be happy for that.” Tracy said, “I am just happy he’s alive.

    “Dr Hayward, when can Alan come home? We can build state of the art equipment in the house to make him more comfortable. I think it will make him more comfortable to be around his things.” Monica implored.

    David shook his head, “In case something goes wrong, he needs to be here. At least for the time being. We are starting physical therapy on him tomorrow and I encourage all of you to visit him as much as possible. He will need to see the whole family behind him.”

    Edward looked at Tracy, “If you fight with your brother, I will bar you from this hospital!” Edward warned.

    Ned piped up, “For God’s sake Grandfather, give Tracy some credit. She’s been a wreck over this whole thing.”

    “Dr. Hayward?” Emily asked. “Can I go in to see him? I would really like to help with his care. I know I am only an intern, but I would like to help.”

    “I have no objections. Monica?” David bounced the question over to Monica who nodded.

    “Thanks, I have some time on my hands and I want to help Father out as much as possible.” Emily said, shooting an evil eye at Sarah.

    David stood up, “Please, if there are any complications, don’t hesitate to call me. I left the full instructions of his recovery in his chart, but it is important that we start right away. He is fully awake, but don’t overwhelm him. Just family today and no children.” David shook everyone’s hands and said, “I am going to go have lunch with Dr Scorpio and then head back to Pine Valley. Skye, keep me posted.”

    Skye came over and hugged David, “I will David. Thank you so much.”


    Later that evening MetroCourt was packed. It seemed that everyone who was anyone in Port Charles turned out for the debate between Ric Lansing and Scott Baldwin. They were up on a stage, with Tiffany Hill in the middle moderating. The lights dimmed a few times, signaling for quiet. Tiffany began speaking into the camera.

    “Good evening Port Charles to the debate between Ric Lansing and Scott Baldwin for Mayor of this fine city. Each candidate will have an opening remark and then I will ask questions to them. After that, we will open the floor to anyone who has a question for the candidates. We have one hour allotted for this. Mr Lansing, you have five minutes for your opening statement.” Tiffany coolly stated.

    Ric gripped his podium, “Good evening Port Charles. I want to inform all of you why I would make the best Mayor of this fine city. My number one agenda is to rid this city of the crime that has befallen us. Sonny Corinithos and Jason Morgan need to be put behind bars where they can no longer use our port for illegal uses!” Ric pointed to the audience. “I have been walking the streets of Port Charles and that is what they have told me that they want to see. No more crime!”

    Scott broke in, “Hogwash!”

    “I don’t believe my five minutes were up Counselor.” Ric said smoothly.

    “Close enough.” Scott said.

    Tiffany broke in, “Mr Baldwin is right, your five minutes is up. Mr Baldwin, please proceed.”

    Scott walked away from the podium and catered to the audience, a twinkle in his eye, “It’s funny, because when I have talked to the fine people of Port Charles, they tell me a different story. They want less taxes. They want the roads fixed. People want more jobs and better benefits. Not one person mentioned the names Jason Morgan or Sonny Corinthos to me. Mr Lansing, I think you are running for Mayor to carry out your personal vendetta against your brother and his associates.”

    “Times up.” Tiffany said.

    “Mr Baldwin, that is simply not true. I don’t have anything against my brother. This vendetta you speak of is false.” Ric said hotly.

    “Rightttt...and I have nothing against Luke Spencer.” Scott retorted.

    “Gentleman, please.” Tiffany interrupted. “A question for Mr Lansing. How to you propose we stop crime in the city?”

    Ric grasped the podium and spoke in a clear, strong voice. “I propose that we hire five more police officers to the PCPD. I propose creating a task force to look into mob activity in this city. In doing so, we will end the mob factions in this city.”

    “How do you intend to pay for this Counselor?” Scott asked. “Raise taxes?”

    “We may have to raise funds in some manner to clean our streets Mr Baldwin.” Ric answered, never losing his cool.

    Tiffany asked, “Mr Baldwin, how to you plan on balancing the budget?”

    Scott again walked around the stage, talking with his hands, “Well Tiffany and the people of Port Charles, cuts may have to be made. I would have to look at the overall budget and see where cuts could be made so that the teachers and workers of Port Charles could have the benefits that they deserve.”

    Luke pushed forward and shouted, “Oh that’s bull Baldwin! What do you know about being Mayor? The only thing you know about is running away when the going gets tough!” He looked at Ric, “And you two Lansing! You are only interested in bringing Sonny down.”

    “I categorically deny that Mr. Spencer!” Ric shouted back. “I want to represent the people of Port Charles and make them proud that they live here.”

    “I categorically deny that, of course you do Lansing, you are a lawyer! I have to tell you, no one in Port Chuckles wants either one of you as Mayor.” Luke said.

    “Luke, what are you doing?” Laura pulled on his arm.

    Luke looked down at Laura, “Trust me pussycat. You will love this.”

    Scott glared down at Luke, “So what do you think we should do Spencer. Elect you? You are nothing but a joke.”

    Luke grinned back at him, “Well I am so glad you asked. I think that the fine people of Port Charles should vote for neither of you. Instead, let's have a write in vote for the best candidate around. She has worked for years at the Mary Mae Foundation so she knows how to balance a budget. She ran the PTA for years and has served on the City Council. All in all, she has had more experience than either of you put together.”

    Laura gasped, “Luke!”

    “That’s right, my wife Laura Spencer. She will be the best mayor since, well me.” Luke spouted off.

    Ric scoffed, “Never will happen Spencer. Laura will never win.”

    Laura pushed forward, empowered by this show of faith her husband had in her, “I can and will run for mayor! I will win!”

    Lulu hugged her mother, “Bring it on Mom!”

    Luke looked over at Laura, “Laura, I even have my signs from when I ran for Mayor. We can use those!”

    Tiffany looked over at the excited audience, “Well, I guess it is now Lansing vs Baldwin vs Spencer. May the best person win!

  9. Cassadines are Back!

    · Tishy · 02/21/2007 12:33 AM

    Helena Cassadine is back! Constance Towers is reprising her role as the evil Helena Cassadine. She will be involved in many storylines, but mainly involved with the Spencers. She will be a force to be reckoned with in her time in Port Charles.

    Helena has also brought along Sam McCall, played again by Kelly Monaco. Sam has been thought to be dead, but alas, she has not been. She has been with Helena and as the story plays out, we will see what has been happening to her since she "died" last year.

    Both actresses have signed contracts. We are not sure, however, how long the contracts are.

  10. Episode 52: Election Chaos

    · Tishy · 02/19/2007 01:18 AM

    click on the underline

    Chaos reigned in the air as shots rang out. Nikolas jumped on Lulu as a bullet missed them. The bullet ricocheted off the wall and hit Lucky in the ankle. Lucky was also hit in the hip. Luke, hit in the arm, scrambled over to Laura who was not moving. “I need a doctor! My wife has been hit! My kids! Lulu! Are you hit? Lucky, Nikolas? Where the hell are the doctors?” Luke screamed. "My Laura is bleeding!"

    Lulu was in tears and Nikolas patted her down, “Luke, Lulu is ok. Just shaken up. Lucky was hit twice. What about Laura?” Nikolas shouted.

    Luke cradled Laura as Patrick jumped onto the stage. “Patrick, she’s bleeding everywhere. You have to stop this.” He gently lay Laura down onto the stage, “Who did this? Did anyone see?”

    Robin rushed forward to attend to Luke and Lucky. She ripped a tablecloth and made tourniquets out of them. She tied them above Lucky's ankle to stanch his bleeding there. She moved over to Luke and fastened a tourniquet above his arm. He told her to go back to Lucky, which she did. Lucky was moaning in pain. “Be quiet Lucky. Monica has called 911, they will be here shortly. I am just going to hold this on your hip to stop the bleeding, is that all right?” Lucky nodded his assent. Robin looked at Nikolas, “Nikolas, just stay with Lulu and bring her over to Bobbie. I don’t want her going into shock.”

    “Where’s Scorpio?” Luke bellowed.

    The paramedics arrived then and rushed to the stage. Taggert and Mac ran to the stage to start questioning people. Luke yelled, “Where the hell is Scorpio? Where is Robert?”

    Robert came forward, “I am right here.”

    “I need you to find out exactly where the hell Baldwin was when this happened. I bet my bank account that he is behind this!”


    Sonny, concerned that he couldn’t find Brenda walked outside with Max. The two of them walked around, searching for her. “Boss! Come quick!” Max was over by the wall. He was standing over an unconscious Brenda, who was half covered by the bushes.

    “Brenda, Brenda, wake up honey.” Sonny knelt down next to her and gently slapped her face. “Max, go in and get some paramedics. Then I want you to call Leticia and tell her you are coming to get her. Call Ned Ashton and tell him what has happened. Tell him you are bringing James and Leticia to him and you are to stay with them. Got it? Now go!” Max rushed off.

    “Brenda, I need you to wake up. Please baby.” Sonny kissed her as a paramedic came running over. “Please help her. We found her here in the bushes. I have no idea what happened.” Sonny stood up as the paramedics started to work on her. He ran his hands over his face and stood there watching, worried. “Please tell me she will be all right.”

    “Sir, we need to bring her to General Hospital. What is her name?”

    “Brenda Barrett.”

    The doors flew open and the stretchers carrying an unconscious Laura, an alert Lucky and angry Luke came out. Following behind were Robert, who was talking on a cell phone, Patrick, Robin, Monica, Bobbie and Carly. Nikolas and Lulu were on their heels. Catching sight of Sonny, Carly stopped. “What the hell is going on Sonny?”

    “It’s Brenda. Max and I found her out here, unconscious.”

    “Maybe she knows who shot up my family.” Carly said belligerently.

    Sonny stared down Carly, “Leave it alone Carly. My main concern is Brenda at this point and her son.” He started to walk away from her.

    Carly caught his arm. “Do you want to ride to the hospital with me?”

    Sonny shook his head. “I will not let Brenda out of my sight for a minute.”



    The doors flew open to the emergency room and Noah was waiting. “Put Laura in trauma room three!” He yelled. He motioned for Bobbie to follow him. “We need to get this bullet out. Patrick will get the bullets out of Lucky. Emily will assist Patrick. Monica will stabilize Luke and then you and I will operate on Luke. I need you to scrub in now.” Bobbie complied.

    In his room, Luke was yelling out for Robert and Lulu. Lulu, still in tears, came running in. “Daddy, are you all right.”

    “Princess, do you think that anyone can hurt your father?” Luke kissed the top of Lulu’s head. "Watch my arm honey."

    “But someone tried to shoot us. If it wasn’t for Nikolas, I would have been shot too. He jumped right on top of me. He saved my life.” Lulu wailed.

    Robert came to the door and stepped away. “I know Princess. Nikolas is a hero. But you are safe.” Luke comforted his daughter, “Your mother and brother are getting the best possible care that they can. Someone will be getting in to see me soon. We will get to the bottom of this. No one can bring the Spencers down, you know that. Now, I want you to stick to Nikolas or Robert like glue until I am out of here. OK?”

    Lulu nodded. “Now Princess, I need to talk to Robert. Go see Nikolas, ok?” Luke kissed Lulu again and repeated, “Remember, stay with either Nikolas or Robert. I trust them with your life.”

    Lulu left and Robert walked in. “Where the hell was Baldwin?” Luke half shouted.

    “Wasn’t him Spencer. He was at his headquarters the whole time. He was giving a speech when this happened.” Robert told him.

    “Then who in the hell did this?” Luke bellowed.


    Sarah walked into Brenda’s ER room. She pulled up a chair and sat across from Sonny and pushed back a now awake Brenda’s hair, “Hi Brenda, I’m Sarah Webber Quartermaine. I am a physician’s assistant here at the hospital. You are going to have a nasty bruise there. We need to take you down to get an MRI. But first, can you tell me what happened to you tonight?”

    Brenda struggled to speak, “I went outside to call my house. I wanted to see how my son was. Oh Sonny! Where is James, is he ok?”

    “Shhhh, James is with Ned. Max is with them as well.” Sonny reassured her.

    “Oh good. Thank you.” Brenda refocused on Sarah. “I am sorry, I have a massive headache. I was walking away from the MetroCourt entrance when someone was walking very purposefully towards me. They looked sort of familiar to me and I remember starting to say something."

    The screen goes to an isolated room

    The Shooter is seen walking into a room where Helena Cassadine is sitting.

    Back to Brenda's hospital room

    Sarah asked, “Do you know who hit you?”

    Brenda nodded, "I started to say, you look like me."

    Back to Helena's room

    Helena smiled, “Excellent job my dear. What a success on your first mission. "

    Brenda's hospital room

    "I don't think I have ever met her. Sonny, you know her though. I can't place her name.

  11. Casting!

    · Tishy · 02/18/2007 09:08 PM

    We can reveal that two people from the past will be brought into the blog. At least one of these people will be revealed in Episode 52. Both of these characters will play heavily into the Mayoral Race fallout and the Spencer shootout.

    Headwriter/Executive Producer Tishy is keeping a lid on who the characters are and who has been cast. "I don't want to ruin the surprise of the story. We are going to push the Spencers to the forefront, where they should be. Several characters will be embroiled in this story. I am very excited for this story."

  12. Episode 41: Alan Wakes Up

    · Tishy · 02/03/2007 12:44 AM

    AJ walks into Alan’s room and settles himself down in the chair next to a comatose Alan. He sighs deeply and grasps Alan’s hand. “Oh Father, I wish you would wake up.” AJ sniffs and looks around the room, “I have so many things that I have to tell you, that I need to tell you. I need you to forgive me for everything that I have done wrong in the past. I need to tell you that I love you and everything that I have done in my life is not your fault. It’s mine.” Tears threatened to spill out of AJ’s eyes. “ I was always blaming you for loving Jason more than me and I know that isn’t true. I know you loved me just as much. Please, I just want one more day with you Father. One day to tell you everything that needs to be said. I am pleading with you God, don’t take my Father until I have a chance to tell him what I need too.”

    AJ lapsed into silence. Around him he could hear the beeping of the machines that were keeping his father alive. He could smell the smell of death. The doctors’ were right. Alan did not look good. He was swollen to almost twice his normal size. His skin was pale and seemed waxy to the touch. “Oh Father, I would do anything to make this right. You are such a great man and I should be there, not you. You don’t deserve this.”

    “Guess what Father, I got married. She’s a wonderful girl, you even know her. Sarah Webber.” AJ spoke hopefully, “It was just one of those things. I met her in Santa Barbara and we just instantly clicked. She is a physician’s assistant and is going to look for a job here. We are going to stay here. All along we have said we wanted to come back here to our families. I was going to ask Mother if we could stay in the gatehouse. I don’t think she will mind.” AJ’s voice broke, “We are going to try to have a baby soon. At least, I want kids soon, she and I haven't really talked about it. I know you will be such a great Grandfather. Father, I just want you to get better. I want to be the best son that I can be. Please Father, let me prove it to you.”

    AJ dropped his head and let the tears flow. He didn’t notice that Alan’s hand twitched or that his eyes fluttered open. Alan licked his lips and whispered, “AJ.”

    AJ’s head whipped up and a smile broke across his face. He reached over and pushed the Nurse’s button. “Dad! You're awake! Oh thank God! I have to get the doctor!” AJ ran to the door and threw it open, “Someone, Dr Hayward! Come quick! My father just woke up!”

    Dr. Hayward and some nurses flew into the room and pushed AJ out. The longest five minutes of AJ’s life passed before Dr Hayward came out. “AJ, call Monica. Your father is awake and doing ok.”

    “Thank you Doctor! Thank you so much!” AJ stunned David by throwing his arms around him. “I’m going to call my mother right now.”


    Elizabeth was waiting outside Lainey’s office for Lucky, feeling some back pains. She checked her watch and saw that she had fifteen minutes until she had to meet Jason. She got up and walked around, rubbing her back. The door opened to Lainey’s office and Lucky stepped out, thanking Lainey.

    “Hey Liz. You ok?” Lucky asked.

    “Yeah, I’m fine.” Liz said, grabbing her purse, “Just some pains that’s all. The baby is going to want to make an entrance very shortly I think.”

    Lucky walked slowly next to her towards the Nurse’s Station to meet Jason. “Could be. Will you call me when it’s time? No matter what time, even if it's three in the morning.”

    Elizabeth looked surprised, “Really? You want to be there?”

    “Of course.”

    “Well then, of course you can. Jason is going to be there of course and I think my sister wants to be. If they make me kick someone out, I’ll kick Sarah out.” Elizabeth laughed.

    Lucky laughed along with her and shuffled his feet, “Uh Liz, I know you are staying at Nikolas’. I get that. What about staying at the loft until you have the baby. It’s closer to the hospital than Wyndemere.”

    Up ahead, Elizabeth saw Jason. “Uh, I don’t know Lucky. Let me think about it ok? Part of me really wants too and the other part doesn’t want to uproot Cameron to just go back to Wyndemere. If it was permanent, I would saw yes.”

    “I understand.” Lucky said, “I can’t give you permanent yet.” They walked up to Jason. “Hey Jason, how is Alan.”

    Jason looked from Lucky to Elizabeth, “Elizabeth I hate to do this. Alan just woke up. I need to go upstairs. Elizabeth, do you mind if I skipped this appointment?”

    Elizabeth brightened, “That is great news! No Jason, go and give your family my best.”

    “Mine too Jason.” Lucky said. “Um, Elizabeth, do you want me to go in with you?”

    Elizabeth smiled, “Yes, I do.”


    Walking purposefully through the hospital, Sarah left the Human Resources office. She had applied for a job as a Physician’s Assistant, a position she knew she would get. She was in fact, a Webber married to a Quartermaine. AJ had just now called her and told her that Alan was awake so she was on her way to ICU.

    The elevator doors opened she stepped in. She went up one floor and the elevator stopped. The doors opened and Patrick stepped in, clipboard in hand. “Oh great. This is all I need.” Sarah commented, “You.”

    “Sarah. How are you?” Patrick inclined his head and consulted his clipboard.

    “And you care why?” Sarah said sarcastically.

    Patrick looked over at her, “Oh Sarah, I was just trying to be polite. We do live in the same city so we may as well try to get along.”

    Sarah planted her hands on her hips in defiance, “Oh you would like that wouldn’t you? So your precious Robin doesn’t find out that you once were involved with me? Are you afraid that I will tell her how you treated me?”

    “It’s not like that Sarah.” Patrick said, exasperated. “I love Robin and she knows all about my past.”

    Sarah cocked her eyebrow, “Really?”

    “Yes really.” Patrick said. “Robin loves me and nothing you can do can change that.”

    The elevator door opened, “Want to bet on that?” With that, Sarah flounced out leaving an angry Patrick behind.


    Luke came rushing into the Spencer House yelling for Laura. Laura came out of the kitchen saying, “Luke, what is the matter!”

    “Laura, Scott and Ric are having their debate tomorrow and we are going. Bobbie got us front row seats. Tiffany is the moderator.” Luke said excitedly.

    Laura looked at Luke quizzically, “Why is it so important that we go? It’s not like we support Scott or Ric.”

    Luke jumped over a chair and hugged her, “I know! But it’s important that we go. A ton of our friends are going to be there and I promised everyone that we would be there.

    “Luuukkkeee,” Laura said cautiously, “Is there something that you aren’t telling me? You don’t have any surprises up your sleeve, do you?”

    Innocently, Luke answered, “Why would you accuse me of such things my love?”

    Laura laughed, “Because I have been married to you for 25 years that’s why Luke.”

    Luke swung Laura around in excitement, “Mrs. Spencer just promise me that you will go and you will wear one of your prettiest dresses and knock everyone’s socks off. I’ll do the rest.”

    Laura gave in, “Ok.”

    Luke kissed Laura soundly, “God I love you!”


    ~Coming up, the Mayoral Debate brings surprises to everyone!

  13. Episode 51: Election Night!

    · Tishy · 02/17/2007 12:35 AM

    4 p.m.
    “Good afternoon, this is Tiffany Hill reporting live from the campaign headquarters of Ric Lansing. How are you today Mr Lansing? How do you think your chances are in this historic three person race?” Tiffany, clad in a navy blue suit, smoothly asked.

    Ric, dressed in an Armani suit, answered with a polished smile, “Well Ms. Hill, I am feeling very confident in my chances today. I know the voters will pick the best candidate.”

    Tiffany stuck her microphone in Ric’s face, “What about the grassroots campaign for Laura Spencer? Exit polls are saying that she is right up there with you and Mr. Baldwin. This could be a very tight race Mr. Lansing.”

    “This is why, Ms Hill.” Ric smoothed down his suit and smiled, “I urge all the voters to go out and vote today. Vote for the best candidate, myself Ric Lansing.”

    “Thank you Mr Lansing, and good luck today.” Tiffany said as Ric walked away. “Clear.” Tiffany said. “Let’s go see if we can find Scott Baldwin and get a few words from him.”

    An hour later, Tiffany and her crew pulled up to Scott Baldwin’s campaign headquarters. She jumped out of her van and walked in. Up ahead, she saw Scott and approached him. “Mr Baldwin, may I have a few words with you?”

    Scott turned around and faced Tiffany, “Hello Tiffany, I would be happy to talk to you.” He flirted, “How are you today?”

    “I am well Mr Baldwin. Now, Mr Baldwin, how do you feel about your chances in the election tonight?” Tiffany coolly responded.

    With a grin on his face, Scott replied, “Well Tiff, I feel that we all have an equal chance with the voters tonight. The voters will vote according to who they feel is the best for the job. I hope they see that with my background and experience, I will serve the people of Port Charles to the best of my ability.”

    “Very good Mr Baldwin. What do you think are the chances of Laura Spencer? She has mounted an impressive campaign.” Tiffany asked.

    “Indeed she has.” Scott smiled, “But I have to wonder, does she have what it takes in the cutthroat world of politics that make up Port Charles? Yes she runs a non profit organization and runs it well. But to run the large organization that is our city government is a large undertaking. I don’t think she can handle it.”

    Tiffany asked, “And you think you are qualified?”

    “As a former district attorney, I do. I know how this city runs. I ask all the voters to vote for Baldwin. You won’t be disappointed. If you will excuse me Ms. Hill.” Scott walked away.

    “Great soundbites Tiffany.” Her producer said. “When do you want to go to the Spencer headquarters?”

    “Let’s go when the polls close at seven. We may have a true underdog story here.” Tiffany brushed her hair back. “Let’s go get something to eat, it may be a long night.”


    7pm

    MetroCourt ~ The Spencer Headquarters

    In the ballroom at MetroCourt, a large stage was assembled. On the stage, Carly turned on one of the large screen TVs that she had rented for the event. Hundreds of volunteers and friends were gathered there in hopes of a Spencer win.

    Laura arrived and made her way through the crowd, shaking hands as she went. Luke followed behind, the proud husband. Tiffany stopped Laura. “Laura Spencer! How are you tonight?” Tiffany’s microphone was catching every word.

    Laura beamed, “I am so happy by the turnout tonight. I can’t believe all the support that we have received! Thank you to everyone!” She shouted. The crowd shouted back their approval.

    Sonny and Brenda, hands clasped, came up next to Luke. “Congratulations buddy. I hope she wins.” Sonny commented.

    Luke couldn’t stop smiling, “Just look at her. Isn’t she amazing.” Luke asked rhetorically.

    Tiffany stuck the microphone in Laura’s face. “Mrs Spencer, the polls coming back show that you have a slight lead over Scott Baldwin with only 5% of the precincts returning. What do you have to say about that?”

    “Well, the night is still young. Scott Baldwin and Ric Lansing are formidable opponents. It could go anyway at this point.” Laura said as she turned to wish Robin and Patrick well and thank them for their support.

    “This is Tiffany Hill, here at the Spencer Headquarters. We will be back when we have more results in this Mayoral Race.” Tiffany waited until she was clear and turned to Laura. “I know I am not supposed to say this, but I hope you win. In fact, I think you will.”

    “Thanks Tiff.” Laura said as Monica came up to her. “Monica, how is Alan?” Laura asked, immediately concerned.

    Looking very tired, Monica replied, “He’s had his set backs. But he is doing ok. Carly brought Michael by today to visit and that brightened his spirits. Jason has also brought Ava to visit, oh she is just precious.”

    Laura clasped her hands, “I have been thinking of both of you.”

    Robert sidled up to Luke, “Hey there Spencer. I hope she wins.”

    “Look at her. She is incandescent.” Luke said proudly.

    Carly and Bobbie were on top of the stage. Bobbie turned on the microphone and called for the Spencers and Nikolas to come to the stage. When Laura, Luke, Lucky, Nikolas and Lulu reached the stage, Bobbie announced, “Laura, there is a phone call for you.” Laura picked up the phone and listened.

    Laura hung up the phone and turned to the microphone. “50% of the precincts are in and we have 48% of the vote. Scott Baldwin has 30% and Ric Lansing has 22% of the vote. That phone call was Ric Lansing, calling to concede the election!” Cheers erupted through the crowd.

    Brenda turned to Sonny and said, “I am just going to run outside for a minute to call Leticia. I want to check on James.”

    Sonny kissed Brenda, “Don’t be long.” Brenda threaded her way through the crowd and made her way outside. Once outside she opened up her cell phone and heard a noise. Looking up, she said, “Hey you look...” She was then hit on the head with the butt of a gun. Falling unconscious, Brenda slid to the ground as the person kept right on walking without breaking stride.

    The TV behind Laura changed with 75% of the precincts coming back and Laura having a 50% lead. The phone rang and she answered. Again she hung up and hugged and kissed Luke. Luke announced, “That was Scott Baldwin, conceding the race for Mayor! Laura Spencer has won! Thank you everyone!”

    Laura stepped to the podium and stated, “I want to thank first and foremost, my family. Luke, my husband. Oh, I don’t know what I would do without you urging me on. You are my reason for being. My two sons, Nikolas and Lucky, you bring such joy into my life. Lulu, with all my heart I love you.

    “Thank you to all the volunteers who helped get my word out there. I want you to know that I appreciate all that you have done, this win would not have happened without you. I will work hard for the people of Port Charles. I am making this promise to the voters and I intend to keep it!” Laura, Luke, Lucky, Nikolas and Lulu grabbed hands and raised them high.

    No one saw the person silently slip into the ballroom and stand at the back watching the Spencers. The person raised a gun and squeezed off four shots, one at Luke, one at Laura, one at Lucky and one at Lulu. Bodies fell, and the person slipped into the night.

  14. Focus on: Mac Scorpio

    · Tishy · 02/18/2007 01:26 AM

    Friends and family tried to intervene to get Mac to enter rehab. It took the urging of Bobbie, who has also suffered great loss to get him to go. Mac escaped and called the one person he felt could understand him: Bobbie. She got him back in and they are building a friendship now.

    Mac is back working and taking everything day to day. He wants to rebuild his relationships that he almost destroyed. Look for his to do that as well as work in the aftermath of the Mayoral Race storyline.

  15. Focus On: Emily Quartermaine

  16. Episode 39: The Break Up

    · Tishy · 01/29/2007 12:30 AM

    Nikolas comes downstairs to find Alison feeding Spencer and Elizabeth playing with Cameron. “Good morning.” He said as he reached for the morning paper, “How is everyone?”

    Cameron pipes up, “Breakfast yummy Uncle Nik.”

    “I’m sure it was.” Nikolas ruffled Cameron’s hair, “Elizabeth you must be glad to be on maternity leave now. Yesterday must have been awful, but at least you got to see Sarah.”

    Elizabeth looked up and smiled, “Yeah it was great to see her, she has changed so much. We caught up on a lot. She and AJ are going to be staying in Port Charles for a while, which makes me happy. Alison, has Jason heard anything about Alan?”

    Alison looks up from feeding Spencer, “When I left, Jason had just called the hospital. He is in ICU and is in a light coma. Jason is going to stop by the hospital later today.” Alison wiped Spencer’s mouth with his spoon, “He is very concerned.”

    Nikolas looks to Elizabeth, “I know you are going to be having your baby soon and Jason is your coach. If he can’t because he needs to be with Alan, I will be happy to help you out.”

    Elizabeth smiled, “Thank you Nikolas. I want to ask Lucky first obviously then if Lucky won’t, I was going to ask Sarah.”

    “Do you know if it’s going to be a girl or a boy? Do you have any names yet?” asked Alison.

    “Not sure if it’s a girl or a boy. I do have some names that I want to run by Jason first.” Elizabeth said.

    Nikolas commented as he picked up the paper, “Well Liz, the offer still stands if you need a coach.”

    No one had noticed that Emily had walked into the room, “You what? You are going to be her coach? That is it Nikolas, I will not tolerate this!” An irate Emily yelled.

    Nikolas stood up and walked towards Emily, “You won’t tolerate this Emily? What has happened to you? Jealousy is eating you up inside for no reason.”

    “Am I the only one here that doesn’t realize what Elizabeth is about?” Emily asked rhetorically, “She has no man to rely on so she is going to move in on Nikolas. I know how she works. She always needs a man.”

    “Oh shut up Emily!” Elizabeth interjected, “What you are saying is simply not true. You are turning into a jealous shrew and you are not the same Emily you were months ago. Is it because I slept with your brother? So what?”

    “So what? You have lied to me and to Lucky for”

    Nikolas cut her off, “Stop it Emily, I don’t want any fighting in front of the boys. Stop playing the ‘You lied to us’ card, it is getting old. No one seems to mind except for you and you have no right to.”

    Emily points a finger at her chest, “I have no right to? You are my fiancé and she is making a play for you. Can’t you see that? I have seen you holding her in your arms while she cries her crocodile tears.” Emily grew angrier as she continued, “Don’t deny it Nikolas. I saw it with my own eyes.”

    Frustrated, Nikolas threw up his arms, “Emily, Elizabeth is my sister in law and I was comforting her. You keep pointing out to me that I am your fiancé yet you seem to forget what trust is. Next thing I know I will find out you bugged the place.”

    Silence settled in the room as Emily stared at Alison. Alison stared back. “He’s going to find out Emily, I already told Jason.”

    “Why don’t I like the sound of this?” Nikolas asked cautiously.

    Emily sighed heavily and pushed her hair back before speaking. She spoke in a whisper, “I asked Alison to watch Elizabeth to make sure Elizabeth wasn’t coming on to you.”

    Alison said quickly, “There’s more.”

    “I offered to pay her.”

    Elizabeth and Nikolas yelled in unison, “What?” Nikolas quickly recovered and said, “Alison, can you bring the boys in the other room while we talk to Emily.” Alison and the boys quickly left the room. “Emily how could you do this?”

    “I told you.” Emily stared Nikolas down, “I don’t trust Elizabeth.”

    Nikolas looked at Emily in disbelief, “But you are also saying you don’t trust me. Emily, I want you to get out. I think we need to take a break from each other.”

    Shocked, Emily stammered, “You don’t mean that Nikolas. I love you.”

    “Your actions speak otherwise Emily. I suggest you leave.” Nikolas said coldly.

    Emily flounced from the room, “I hope you both rot in hell!”


    Ned’s cell phone rings the next morning startling him from a deep, yet troubled sleep. “Hello, Brenda?” He mumbled. “Is James all right?”

    “Ned it’s me Lucy. How is Alan?” Lucy’s fretful voice rang through the line.

    Ned wiped the sleep from his eyes, “He made it through the night but it is critical. Sorry Lucy, he is in ICU. Family members only.”

    “I understand. I was married to him so I wanted to find out if he was ok.” Lucy walked around her apartment in MetroCourt. “I am just so afraid that he will die. I don’t want to lose him.”

    “I know. None of us do.” Ned paused, “Lucy, do you want to meet me for breakfast?” He groped for the alarm clock, “I know it’s a little late for breakfast and too early for lunch but I could meet you there. Brenda is staying there as well and I was going to drop in to see her..”

    Lucy stopped, “I was just downstairs and I haven’t seen her. In fact, I didn’t see her yesterday either. Maybe she is at Sonny’s.”

    Ned said quizzically, “Why would she be at Sonny’s?”

    Lucy said, “Ned, they are together. I heard her tell Robin.”

    Ned shot up straight up in bed and yelled, “They are what?”


    Brenda lay in Sonny’s arms after a night of lovemaking. She sighed in happiness as she watched Sonny’s chest raise up and down in sleep. She giggled to herself as she remembered how quickly he had fallen asleep after their last lovemaking session. She leaned over and kissed his chest up to his mouth. When she reached his mouth, she dragged her tongue lightly over his lips in an effort to wake him up.

    Sonny’s eyes fluttered opened and he captured her tongue. They share an intimate kiss. “Morning Bren.”

    “Morning. Thanks for letting us stay here last night.”

    Sonny kissed her forehead. “I love waking up with you next to me. There is nothing I would want more than having this everyday.”

    “It’s too soon Sonny.” Brenda snuggled deeper into the covers, “Although I like the sound of that. I am actually thinking of talking to Ned and moving out of the mansion. I would like a place of my own to raise James.”

    Sonny smiled down at her, “Well you know, you have a place here with me always. I would love that. But I can see that you would want a place to call home.” He kissed her. “Just think, if you lived with me how much sex we would have? We have a lot to catch up on.”

    “You would think of that.” Brenda stood up and put a bathrobe on. “I need to check on James. I will be right back.”

    Sonny leaned back on to the pillows and his phone rang. He picked it up, thinking it might be Carly. Needless to say he was very surprised to hear Ned’s voice on the line. “Sonny? Is Brenda there?”

    Sonny sighed and rubbed his forehead, “Yes Ned, she is.”

    “I would like to talk to her.” Sonny covered the phone and called out to Brenda. She came back and he whispered that it was Ned. A look of dismay crossed her face as she took the phone from Sonny. She listened to Ned and agreed to meet him at the Quartermaines in a half hour.

    “I have to go Sonny. Ned is really angry that I stayed here. If I had told him about us, he would have understood.” Brenda sighed. “I just need to straighten things out and then I am going to look for a place to live.”

    Sonny pushed her hair out of her eyes, “I know Bren. We knew that this could happen. Promise me something ok?”

    “Sure.”

    “I want you to talk to Scott Baldwin as soon as possible.”


    Mac was sitting on his hotel bed when Bobbie emerged from the bathroom. “Mac, are you ready to go?”

    Mac hung his head. “Yes.” He said in defeat, “I know I have to go back there and get the help I need. Will you come visit next week?”

    Bobbie nodded, “Of course I will. On your first visit I will come up.” She looked around the room and gathered the last of her things and put them in her bag. “I will come up with Robert next week.”

    “I don’t know if I want to face him yet. So for right now, just you. He will understand.” Mac confided. “I knew you would understand what I have been been going through. I just want to get rid of the images and the desire to drink.”

    “And you will Mac. It just takes time.” Bobbie sat down next to him. “The demons go away. You know I am here for you anytime.”

    “I know Bobbie and I thank you so much. Let’s go.” Mac stood up and with that, headed towards recovery.

  17. Episode 38:Alan's surgery is over

    · Tishy · 01/28/2007 07:38 AM

    “Dr Quartermaine! Come quick!” Monica rushes through the doors towards the operating room. Dr Hayward is there to greet her, a tired expression on his face, “Monica, we did have a little problem. The aneurysm did burst but we were able to correct it. The surgery is over and everything looks ok. Of course you know that the next 48 hours are critical.” David pauses and wipes his face, “He woke up once and said your name. Then he slipped into a light coma which is to be expected. I can allow you, and just you to see him for five minutes.”

    “Oh Dr Hayward thank you so much.” Monica tried to hold the tears back as best as she could. “I can’t thank you enough.”

    David smiled, “Monica, it was my pleasure to help out today. I do want to warn you that Alan doesn’t look the same. He is very swollen from all the fluids given him. You can go speak to him if you wish and I will go talk to the rest of your family. The rest of you should go home.”

    Monica nodded and tried to keep her composure, “I suspect we will, but I am going to stay here in my office so that I am close by.”

    “Ok, I am staying on for a few days until Alan gets out of the critical stage, then another doctor will take over.” David walked towards the doors, “Your husband is a very lucky man.”

    Monica tentatively opens the door and peers down at her husband. Tears well up into her eyes as she gazes upon the man that she loves, who is now close to twice the size that he was the day before. As a doctor, she knew that this would occur, as a wife she didn’t want to accept it. Alan is hooked up to many machines and oxygen. She sits down and picks up his hand, leaning down to press her lips to his hand.

    “Oh Alan, how could you do this to me! I have been worried sick about you. I need you in my life so much. I love you more than you will ever know. I swear that I will never threaten to throw you or your father out of the mansion again. Edward is just devastated. If anything, you have to come back for Edward.” Trying to be strong, she brushes back a tear, “Skye is here to see you along with AJ and his new wife who you know very well. The former Sarah Webber. For some reason, she looks shorter to me. And Jason has been here the whole time wanting to see how you are. He too has been very worried. Tracy has been going out of her mind, I have never seen her like this. So Alan, you have to wake up and join us again, ok? We want you back. You make the family. Justus is on his way back from Minneapolis and I suspect he will want to see you as well.”

    Epiphany opened the door and spoke softly, “Dr Quartermaine, you have to leave now. Dr Quartermaine needs his rest now.”

    Monica leaned down and kissed Alan’s swollen cheek. “I love you Alan, always and forever.”


    Robert is walking towards the entrance of the hospital when he spies Tracy coming out. He is aware of the situation with Alan and he walks up to her. Catching her by surprise, he handed her a handkerchief. “Tracy, I am sorry about your brother. What can I do to help you?”

    A scornful Tracy stares him down, “Can you turn back the clock and make this go away? Make my brother the man he was yesterday?”

    “I wish I could Tracy.”

    “What are you doing here anyway?”

    “Mac called me and I wanted to let Robin know. So I figured that I would just drop on by and tell her. He has been with Bobbie and is going back to rehab.” Robert said.

    “Isn’t that nice?” Tracy said sarcastically.

    Robert started to walk away, “Look Tracy. I was trying to be nice here. I suspect moest people aren’t too nice to you. I know you are going through a tough time and I thought I could help. But I guess I am not high enough on the social ladder for you. So good night.” With that, Robert opened the doors to the hospital.

    “No, stop.” Tracy pleaded. She was in a vulnerable state, “You are right and I am a mess. I am sorry Robert. I feel so helpless and I don’t know what to do anymore. The doctor says he is going to be ok, but I just don’t know. I just have a bad feeling.”

    “It’s ok to feel upset Tracy.”

    “I am Tracy Quartermaine. I don’t get upset. I eat people for lunch who are acting like me.” Tracy wiped the tears from her eyes, embarrassed. “Look Robert, thanks for listening, go see Robin. She needs you more than I do.”

    “Not necessarily.” Robert embraced her as Tracy burst into tears.


    Scott opens the door to MetroCourt and ushers Alexis in. They have been on a few dates now and surprisingly, Alexis was finding herself enjoying his company. There was nothing romantic between them yet, not that Scott hadn’t tried. They sat down and opened their menus. “What are you in the mood for Alexis?”

    “I don’t know Scott.” Alexis threw down the menu. “I just can’t believe that Ric is using Alan’s illness to try to garner votes for the Election. Did you see him on the news?”

    Scott rubbed his hand over his beard and said slowly, “Yeah I saw it. He has some nerve. I can’t believe he beat me to it.”

    “Scott! That’s horrible!”

    “Did I say that out loud?” Scott smiled innocently. “How could you have ever married him? You are so much more intelligent than that.”

    “Well Scott we all have things that we do that we regret in life. Like I regret that I was born a Cassadine and I regret that I didn’t get to know Sam.” Alexis confided. She glanced up and saw Lucy walking towards their table. “Ah, is there someone in your past that you regret Scott?”

    Scott turned around and saw Lucy approach. He smiled and waved her over, “Hey Luce. I am surprised you are here and not at the hospital.” He commented.

    Lucy looked at them quizzically, “Why would I be at the hospital?”

    “Oh God, you don’t know. I am so sorry to have to tell you this.” Scott said. “Luce, Alan is very sick and is in surgery. It has been all over the news. I should have called you but I thought someone else would have.”

    Lucy’s eyes filled with fear as her hand went to cover her mouth, “Scott Baldwin, in all the years I have known you this is by far the cruelest thing you have ever done to me. Not so soon after Felicia! And Alexis, I can’t believe you are a party to this. Again you are trying to hurt me in the worst possible way.”

    Alexis spoke quietly, “Lucy, Scott is telling you the truth. Apparently he is having some heart problems. It is on the news. You may want to go to the hospital to see if you can find anything out. Or call one of the Quartermaines.”

    “You don’t know what you are talking about. This is just a cruel joke that Scott is playing on me.” Lucy denied.

    Scott stood up and grabbed her arms, “Luce, I am telling you the truth on Serena’s and Dominique’s lives. I would never joke about something like this.”

    Knowing this to be true, Lucy wrenched her arms free and ran out.


    It’s after ten that evening when the Quartermaine’s arrive home. Jason has gone home to his penthouse. In the foyer, are Skye’s suitcases.

    “For God’s sake, can’t anybody do anything around here?” Tracy demanded. “Can someone please remove these suitcases and put them in a guest room? We live in a mansion, we have enough rooms, yet more people are staying here than at MetroCourt.”

    “Sorry Tracy, I just left them here.” Skye sighed, “I was in such a rush. I didn’t know what to do. I want to go hold Lila. Ned, can you bring my suitcases up to my old room?”

    Ned looked at Skye in dismay, “I would love to, except that is now Brenda’s room. But I got a call from her, she is checking into a hotel so that we could all be together. Feel free to take her room, I just want you to know that she has her stuff in there now.”

    “Wonderful. Is she seeing Sonny again, because if she is, I want the sheets changed and that room completely disinfected?” Skye snapped.

    Edward looked at his brood of children and grandchildren and shouted “Enough! No fighting tonight. I just want to go to bed and pray that Lila is looking after Alan tonight.”

    “I agree Grandfather.” AJ said. “Is it all right that Sarah and I stay here? Or we can check into MetroCourt.”

    Edward waved his hand. “Here is fine.”

    “I had the maids clean your room AJ.” Ned said, walking into the living room and helping himself to a drink. He sat down, “What a horrible day. It feels like it has dragged on forever. Grandfather, are you going to be ok?”

    “Don’t baby me Ned. I just want my son to be ok. He is the important thing. We made it through surgery and the next few days are going to be very important.” Edward said in a strong voice. “I want all the Quartermaines to stay strong and stick together. We will get through this.” Edward paused as he stood at the entrance to the living room and the foyer. “I’m going upstairs to bed. I know I haven’t always been the best parent or grandparent and I have come down really hard on all of you. But,” Edward’s voice broke, “I love you all so much and I hope you all know that.”

  19. Indefinate Hiatus

    · Tishy · 02/10/2007 04:29 PM

    Due to being sick and pressing work schedules in the next couple weeks, The Citizens of Port Charles will be on an indefinate hiatus. Big stories are planned and what is being played right now will pay off in a big way. I will be doing character spots, telling a bit about the character and their motivations in the time being. I also want to refocus the stories and make them more entertaining for you, the reader. Thank you for reading, and when we come back, I hope you will too.

  20. Episode 45: Scott Has A Plan

    · Tishy · 02/09/2007 04:05 AM

    Lucky looks over at the sleeping Emily and sighs deeply. He can’t believe that they had sex. He regrets having sex with her because he doesn’t want to hurt her and he fears that in her state that he will. “Hmmm, that was nice Lucky.” She stirred and turned over towards him.

    “Yeah.” He said noncommittally.

    She leaned up on one elbow, “Elizabeth is a stupid girl to give you up. You were wonderful Lucky.” She trailed her fingers up and down his arm.

    “Look Emily, I hope you know that this doesn’t change anything. I still want to work things out with Elizabeth.” Lucky looked at her.

    Emily shrugged her shoulders, “I’m not stopping you Lucky. I just want you to know that I am here for you in every way. Are you positive Elizabeth is?”

    “I don’t know Emily. I have a lot to figure out.” Lucky said, “I am not promising you anything.”

    Emily smiled, “Am I asking?”

    “No.”

    “I just want to be your friend Lucky. I am offering you more than just friendship. I understand you don’t want it. I can wait.” Emily offered.

    Lucky drew in a deep breath, hearing movement from below. He had forgotten that there were so many people in the house. “I don’t want you to wait, that’s the thing. I don’t think anything will ever happen between us Emily. In fact, I am positive nothing will happen between us.”

    “Don’t say that Lucky, you never know.” Emily said coyly

    “I do know Emily.” Lucky said forcefully. “As long as I still have these feelings for Elizabeth, I won’t move on.”

    “I get tha…”

    “Lucky! Lucky! Where are you?” Lulu bounded up the stairs and pulled open the door to his room. “Oh my God!” She stood there, stunned to see Lucky and Emily in bed together.


    Brenda bounced her way into Sonny’s penthouse and threw herself in his arms, “Hey baby.” She kissed him deeply, “I’ve missed you.”

    Sonny brushed her hair back and kissed her back, “Hmmmm, you taste so good.” He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up to kiss her more thoroughly. “Baby, I have missed you.”

    “Me too.” She disengaged herself from his arms and asked, “I found a house I like and I want you to see it. I love it. It’s a small house with a roomy kitchen and living room. A sunroom and three bedrooms. So there is room for Leticia. Want to come see it?”

    Sonny walked over and grabbed his coat. “Let’s go.” Together they walked out and got into his car. Brenda gave Max the directions to the house. “So Sonny, how was your day?”

    “I talked to Carly. She is coming back to Port Charles with the kids. They should be here in a couple days. Jax is staying with Lady Jane.” Sonny started.

    “Oh I hope she is getting better. I love Lady Jane.” Brenda said, snuggling up to Sonny.

    Sonny looked down at Brenda, “Don’t remind me.” She giggled and he continued on, “Jason called her and asked that she come home so that Alan can see Michael.”

    “That’s nice of her, I will give her that. That is about all I will give her.” Brenda said. She pointed to a road, “It’s the first house there on the right.”

    They walked towards the house and Brenda took out a key. “I talked to the rental agent and she gave me a key. What do you think?” Brenda twirled around the living room of the house as Sonny walked around the downstairs.

    Sonny sauntered over to her, “Bren, do you love it?”

    Brenda nodded. “I’ll buy it for you Brenda.”

    “Oh no you won’t Sonny.” Brenda vehemently stated, “This is for me and James. I want to do this. It’s about me. I am not the 18 year old girl that you can buy a car for.”

    Sonny threw his hands up, “Ok, Ok, you win.” He walked over and took her in his arms, “I just want to give you the world.”

    Brenda kissed him, “You are halfway there.” She giggled and lifted her shirt up, throwing it in his face. She knelt on the ground and beckoned him over. Smiling, Sonny followed her down to the ground.


    Ric walked into Kelly’s to find Scott eating a piece of pie. He sat down across from Scott and asked, “What was so urgent that you needed to see me?”

    “Well Lansing,” Scott deliberately wiped his mouth with a napkin, “You and I have a problem.”

    “What’s that?”

    Scott leaned back and took a sip of his coffee, “Spencer. What are we going to do about Laura Spencer.”

    Ric scoffed, “I don’t think I have anything to worry about.”

    “Really?” Scott reached into his blazer pocket and pulled out a flyer. He threw it at Ric. “This was on my car today. They are all over the place. Now tell me there is nothing to worry about.”

    Ric studied it and said slowly, “What are you proposing?”

    Scott leaned back, “Well, I hate Luke Spencer more than, well you. So I am thinking we need to work together to make sure that the Spencers don’t win this thing. One of us needs to drop out.”

    “Are you suggesting that we team up together and pool our resources? You are willing to drop out and help me be Mayor?” Ric asked doubtfully.

    “You think I am going to drop out?” Scott laughed, “You are sorely mistaken.” Scott pointed at Ric and continued, “You help me win and I make you Police Commissioner You can go after Sonny all you want.”

    Ric swiftly came back, “No way. I want to be Mayor.”

    Scott leaned forward, “Don’t you get it Lansing? Neither one of us will win unless we come together on this. Take my deal.”

    Ric stood up, “I’ll think about it Baldwin.” He started to walk towards the door, “Just don’t hold your breath.”



    Ned walks into MetroCourt and sits down at a table. The last few days have taken their toll on him. Even though it was late afternoon he ordered a gin and tonic. He wasn’t surprised to see Lucy walk towards him. “Hey Luce. How are you?”

    Concerned, she sat down across from Ned. “More importantly Ned, how are you?”

    “I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. I had to get out of the hospital for a bit. And being in the house is slowly driving me insane. The only person who isn’t driving me nuts in James.” Ned confided.

    Lucy reached over and grasped his hand, “Ned, I know.”

    Ned looked right up, “I know that you know I am James father. Brenda wants to move out too. I won’t allow it.”

    “You have too Ned.” Lucy said.

    “I don’t have to do anything. I don’t want my son around that criminal.” Ned took a drink and said sharply, “It’s not going to happen.”

    Lucy looked at him sympathetically, “I understand how you feel that way. I remember how messed up Sonny made Brenda years ok. I was the one that brought her to the hospital when she freaked out at the Deception shoot. But what can you do about it?”

    Ned regarded Lucy shrewdly, “If you are Brenda’s friend than you will help me. Marry me.”

  21. Episode 37: Patrick's Past

    · Tishy · 01/21/2007 11:51 PM

    "Sarah!" Patrick brought his hand up to his cheek where she slapped him. "What the hell was that for?"

    Sarah planted her hands on her hips, anger spilling out of her,"What do you mean Patrick? What was the slap for? Oh I don't know, what do you think it was for?" She finished sarcastically.

    Patrick looked down at his feet before looking at her, "Look Sarah, I am sorry things had to end between us. But I never promised you anything."

    "Rich, real rich." Sarah said, leaning back to slap him again. He caught her arm and said, "Don't try it again Sarah. You knew how it was between us."

    Sarah wrenched her arm free from his grasp, "I NEVER expected for you to leave me with a letter saying that you were going to a medical conference and then finding out you were never coming back. That there was no medical conference. Do you know how embarrassing it was for me to go to work? To have everyone know that you lied to me? I actually transferred to another hopital Patrick! If you wanted to end it with me, you should have just ended it. Not be a coward about it, you bastard."

    Patrick sighed heavily, "Ok, I admit I screwed up. I just didn't know how to end it."

    "You think?"

    "I was coming back though. I just had." Patrick hesitated a minute too long and Sarah pounced.

    "Had what? Another chick to screw over. Patrick let me tell you this. This may come as a shock to you but you are not God's gift to women." Sarah spewed angrily. "I pity any woman who ever gets involved with you." She stabbed him in the chest with her finger as the elevator opened and Robin stepped out.

    "Oh my God Sarah! I can't believe it's you! I just heard that you were here from AJ. He asked me to find you. He thought you might have gotten lost and he didn't want you paged quite yet." Robin looked from Sarah to Patrick, immediately catching on to the tension between the two. "Have I interrupted something?"

    Sarah smiled thinly at Robin, eyes narrowed, "We were done. Thanks Robin. I better go find AJ. Doctor Drake" She said sarcastically, "I wish I could say it was a pleasure." With that she turned on her heels and stomped into the elevator.

    "Patrick, what was that about?" Robin asked tentatively.

    "Nothing." Patrick walked away, leaving a stunned Robin.


    Sonny opened the door to his penthouse when Brenda knocked later that afternoon. "Hi Brenda. This is a surprise. How are you holding up?" Sonny embraced Brenda as she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave into his kiss.

    "Hmmm, that felt good. I decided to get out of the house for a little bit. James is sleeping and I am a little stir crazy." Brenda tipped her face up again. "Kiss me again Sonny." Sonny obliged, pulling her into a passionate kiss.

    Sonny broke the kiss reluctantly, "I don't want to, you know, give a show for all the neighbors here. Come on inside." He closed the door and grabbed Brenda's hand, leading her to the couch. "Tell me what's going on."

    Brenda snuggled up against Sonny and aimlessly dragged her fingers up and down his thigh. She told him everything that had happened so far during the day and how Alan was still in surgery. How AJ returned with Sarah Webber. "I never really knew Sarah Webber, just knew that she was Elizabeth's sister and involved with Nikolas Cassadine for a while. But she is now married to AJ. I guess they met in Santa Barbara. Have you called Carly?"

    Sonny kissed Brenda's forehead and brushed her hair back, "I have to wait a few hours to call her. I want to make sure that Michael is off to school. Last time I spoke to Carly, Michael said he loved school down there."

    "That's good." Brenda said distractedly. "Hey are you going to Robin and Patrick's housewarming party? Their house is adorable."

    Sonny nodded, "Robin called and invited me."

    Brenda tilted her head up and smiled, "Let's go together." she said impulsively.

    "I don't know Brenda. Are you sure you want everyone knowing about us?" Sonny cautioned.

    Brenda leaned over and kissed him thouroughly. "I am positive."


    "Hey Laura! Come here!" Luke was sitting on the couch in the living room flipping through the channels when he was stopped by a broadcast of Tiffany Hill's. "Tiff is on the air again and the story is about Alan Quartermine. It looks like he had a heart attack or something."

    "Oh my God." Laura came out of the kitchen and into the living room. "Is he alright?"

    Luke turned up the volume and shrugged his shoulders. "It's pretty vague and it sounds serious. I wonder why Barbara Jean hasn't called me about this."

    Laura sat in the crook of his arm and settled in to watch the broadcast. Moments later, they saw Ric Lansing approach the hospital and Tiffany run towards him.

    Tiffany shoved her microphone at Ric, "Mr Lansing, what do you have to say about Dr Alan Quartermaine's condition?"

    Knowing an opportunity when he sees one, Ric turned towards the cameras and put on a grave face. "My heart goes out to the Quartermaine family. Dr Quartermaine is a fine, upstanding citizen. Tonight, all of Port Charles should be praying for the health of Dr Quartermaine and wish him and his family well. That is all for now."

    Tiffany spoke quickly, "Mr Lansing, how will this affect your plans for running for mayor? We have heard rumors that you were looking at the Quartermaines for an endorsement. Are you still trying to get one?"

    "Ms Hill." Ric began, "At a time like this, politics take a backseat. We should be concentrating on the health and welfare of Dr Quartermaine. Thank you Ms Hill."

    Luke turned off the TV in disgust. "I can't believe that we have to pick between that snake and Baldwin. It's like picking between Lucifer and Satan. They are one and the same!"

    "I know honey, but there is nothing we can do. We have to just vote for the best candiadate." Laura tried to reason.

    "That's my point Laura," Luke started to explain, "There is no best candidate. And now no one else can sign up and get on the ballot." Luke sighed, "One of them is going to be mayor and we will be going to hell in a handbasket.

    Laura stood up and started to walk towards the kitchen, "Unless someone does a write in campaign."

    Luke stood up and yelled, "You are a genius!"


    The Quartermaines were sitting in the waiting room, waiting for some word on Alan. Hours had passed and they had heard nothing. Edward was staring out the window, Tracy was pacing from one end of the room to the other. AJ held onto Sarah's hand and Jason just stared ahead. For once, all of them were in a room together and no one was fighting.

    The door opened and a nurse rushed through, "Dr Quartermaine! Come quick!"

  22. Carly Corinithos Jax Cast!

    · Tishy · 02/06/2007 12:56 AM

    Negotiations came down to the wire but we can confirm the casting of Carly Corinithos Jax. Sarah Joy Brown has signed a contract and will appear by the end of the month. AJ returning home facillitates her coming back to Port Charles.

    Sarah Brown was always our first choice but she had a scheduling conflict. We were deciding between Tamara Braun and Gina Tognoni. When Sarah Brown's schedule freed up and she was able to sign a contract, we jumped at the chance. By the end of the month, expect Carly to be back. A story for Carly is in the works, one in which we are excited for.

    At this time, Jasper Jax will not be back. He will remain in Austrailia for the time being.

  23. Episode 36: The Wait Begins

    · Tishy · 01/20/2007 11:36 PM

    Monica came rushing into the room when she heard AJ come in. She ran up to him and threw her arms around him. "Oh AJ, I am so glad you are here. We need you so much right now." She pulled back and looked ather son. "AJ you look wonderful. Life in California has been treating you well."

    AJ reached for Sarah's hand. "You all remember Sarah Webber?" The Quartermaines nodded. "Sarah and I got married a week ago. We met in Santa Barbara at the San Remos Hospital and have been together ever since."

    Shock reverberated throughout the room. Edward glanced up and said faintly, "Sarah I hope you know what you are getting into. Welcome to the family."

    "I can't believe you didn't tell your father and I AJ." Monica reprimanded, sitting down in a chair.

    Sarah spoke up for the first time. "It was a spur of the moment thing."

    Tracy interrupted her and immediately jumped to conclusions., "Oh my God, you are pregnant aren't you?"

    Sarah shook her head, "I can assure you I am not."

    The door to the emergency room opened and Dr Hayward emerged. "Good afternoon everyone, I am Dr David Hayward." He shook everyone's hand and sat down. "I just want to explain what we are doing right now. The aneuryism has not burst and we are going to repair that. If it bursts, than we do run into risks. If Dr Quartermaine makes it through the surgery without the aneuryism bursting he has a stronger change of survival. I want to tell you that he has been brought up to the operating room and is being put under anesthesia as we speak. Dr Drake and I are going to start the surgery very shortly. I estimate that it will last about 4 hours."

    Skye interrputed, "David, will he survive?"

    David looked over at Skye and smiled reassuringly, "I have every reason to believe that if he makes it through the surgery without the aneryism bursting than he will. If it bursts, he can still survive but there is more chance that he could pass. He was in good spirits when I spoke to him last, as Monica can attest to. I also want to warn you of something. Dr Quartermaine is going to lose a lot of blood so we will be doing transfusions and saline into him to keep him hydrated. When you see him next, he will be swollen." David looked at the clock on the wall and said, "I have to get going. I suggest that you go to the private waiting room outside the operating rooms. That way, if we need to get to you we know where you are." With that, David confidently left the room.

    Tracy watched him leave, "I don't like him. He's oily as a snake."

    "Takes one to know one." muttered Skye.

    Monica ignored them and stood up, "Dr Hayward is right, we need to go upstairs. Sarah, I know it's difficult circumstances, but welcome to the family."

    Sarah smiled sweetly back, "Thank you Dr Quartermaine." Sarah turned to AJ. "Honey do you mind if I meet you up there? I saw Elizabeth on our way in and I want to say hello to my sister and get an update on Gram."

    AJ leaned over and kissed Sarah. "Sure. I love you."

    "I love you too."


    Sarah walked through the hospital towards the Nurse's Station where she last saw her sister. She smiled to herself when she saw her sister waddling up to the desk. Sarah came up behind Elizabeth, put her hands over her eyes and whispered, "Guess who?"

    Elizabeth turned around at the sound of her sister's voice, "Sarah? What are you doing here?"

    Sarah hugged her sister and answered, "My husband brought me back."

    "Your husband?" Elizabeth broke the embrace, "Who did you marry?"

    "AJ Quartermaine." Sarah held out her left hand which now sported a 2.5 carat diamond flanked by 1 carat diamonds on either side in a platninum setting. "He surprised me and we eloped. Then we found out about his father and flew here. We have only been married less than a week. We were going to fly out here anyway and surprise everyone, this was just sooner than expected."

    Elizabeth glanced at the clock. "Sarah, why don't you go sit down. I will be finished up very soon. Give me five minutes."


    Upstairs in the waiting room, James was getting fussy. He was starting to cry and starting to get on everyone's nerves. Brenda got up and excused herself and asked Ned to come with her for a minute. Once outside she said, "Look I know you want James here, but he is getting very fussy and he is way past his nap time. I need to get him home Ned so that he can lay down."

    Ned sighed and kissed James, "I know you are right, I just want him here, you know? Go ahead. I will call you later. Do me a favor, don't let anyone say anything to the press at the house."

    "Of course." Brenda gathered everything up for James and left. Once she settled James into the car, where he promptly fell asleep she called Sonny. "Hey Sonny, it's me."

    "I was just thinking of you. Are you coming over?" Sonny replied.

    "I can't. Look, Alan Quartermaine is going through critical surgery. AJ is home and he has a wife now. I thought you might want to know because of Michael." Brenda stated.

    Sonny paused in disbelief, "Who would marry AJ?"

    Brenda laughed, "Well,Carly did."

    "Touche."

    "His wife is Sarah Webber." Brenda said as she navigated the car into the driveway of the Quartermaine mansion. "I thought you might want to warn Carly."

    Sonny sighed heavily into the phone, "I should call her. Will you have a chance to come over later? I would like to see you if possible."

    Brenda smiled into the phone and turned the car off. "I will try. I have to go and I will talk to you later."


    Elizabeth walked over to Sarah and sat down next to her, Elizabeth's eyes glowing. She grabbed her sister's hand, "I am so glad you are here. I need a friend right now. But first, I want to here all about how you met AJ."

    "Well he got into a small car accident and I was his physican's assistant. We recognized each other and started talking. He asked me for dinner that night and I went and we have been together ever since. That simple." Sarah shrugged. "He was working at this company, Wayne Industries. They merged with Capwell in Santa Barbara, did you hear about that merger?"

    "Yeah I did hear something about that merger. They kicked CC Capwell's wife out of the building if I recall." Elizabeth remembered.

    Sarah leaned back into the pillows, "You heard right. AJ was high up in the company but there was too many management and he was laid off. I gave my notice at the Clinic and we are moving back to Port Charles." Sarah looked at Elizabeth excitedly, "Which is great because I want to be with you when the baby is born and I never liked one of CC Capwell's daughters anyway so I was glad he lost the job. It was like they shared some secret, like they knew each other in a former life."

    Elizabeth laughed, "Oh Sarah, I do doubt that. But weren't you seeing some guy, a doctor for a while?"

    Sarah's face clouded. "I was. He is out of the picture." Sarah looked away, "Liz, I don't want to talk about it, ok? Just drop it. How are things with Lucky? Is he loosening up a bit? Want me to talk to him for you?"

    "Thanks for the offer," Elizabeth sighed, "But he is being as stubborn as usual. I also don't know what Emily is feeding him. She has it in her head that I want Nikolas. She even asked Alison Barrington to spy on me but Alison shot it right down. Nikolas was going to confront her with it but the whole thing with Alan happened."

    "I'll take her down Liz," Sarah said loyally, "You know I will." Sarah laughed, "She must hate the fact that I will be sleeping with her brother in her house knowing that I was with Nikolas."

    Elizabeth looked at the clock. "Sarah, you might want to get up to AJ. I have to get going. You will stop by and see Cameron soon, right? Will you call me and let me know how Alan is doing?"

    Sarah stood up and pulled Elizabeth up with her, both laughing. "I will." Sarah hugged her sister, "It is so good to be back. I have missed you so much. Tell Gram I will call her later ok?"

    Elizabeth nodded as Sarah walked towards the elevators. Sarah got in and pushed the button for the fifth floor. She was looking down at her nails when the door opened and she stepped out right into someone. She looked up and gasped, "Patrick!"

    "Sarah! What are you doing here?" A stunned Patrick said.

    Sarah hauled back and slapped Patrick hard across the face.

  24. Casting

    · Tishy · 02/03/2007 03:49 PM

    Episode 42 will be the last we see of Dr. David Hayward. It certainly doesn't rule out a return visit, but for now, he will be going back to Pine Valley.
  25. Robin walked into the waiting room where the Quartermaines were assembled. Everyone looked up, fear on their faces as she stood at the door. "I just wanted to let you know that I have contacted Dr Hayward. He has agreed to come up here to help with the surgery. Adam Chandler's plane will be lifting off shortly and Skye has been notified. She will be arriving with Dr Hayward." Robin paused. "I am so sorry that this is happening. I admire Alan so. Please let me know if I can do anything."

    Ned spoke up, "Robin, can you do me a favor? Can you call Brenda and have her come here with James?" Robin nodded and left the room to make the phone call.

    "Now why are you calling Brenda here?" Tracy demanded. "This is for family only and quite frankly I am in no mood for her little brat to be here. We already have AJ coming soon, thank God he was able to charter a plane. I can only take so many brats in one place."

    "Can it Tracy." Jason spoke quietly, the first time he had spoken since he had gotten there.

    Tracy whipped around, "What did you say to me?"

    "You heard me. I think it might be a good distraction. Plus Brenda will be able to help us out if need be." Jason stated, eyes forward. "Monica will be coming out soon and please, no fighting. She doesn't need World War Three going on in here."

    "Jason's right, Mother." Dillion said. "Just let it go. Brenda can at least contact people if need be."

    "Edward, what do you think?" Tracy asked her father.

    Edward was sitting in a corner. He waved his hand and said quietly, "I don't care about anything right now except that my son survives. The PCU marching band could be in here if it will guarentee my son's survival."

    Monica opened the door, tears coming down her face. "Oh my God No!" Tracy screeched.

    Monica looked like she had aged twenty years in the last few hours. "No, he's ok for now. Alan is stabilized and he will have the surgery today. Robin told me that AJ and Skye are on their way home, right?" Ned told her yes, "Alan wants to see you all before the surgery. Only a couple minutes though. I don't want to tire him out so do you mind going in together? Ned and Dillion, will you go first?"

    Dillion and Ned followed Monica to where Alan lay hooked up to many machines and IV's. They tried not to show their shock at how pale he was. One of the machines showed the aneuryism, which looked like the size of a tennis ball. "Alan?" Ned whispered. "Are you awake?"

    Alan reached out his hand and grasped Ned's. "Ned, if I don't make it through this, please watch out for my father. He is going to need a strong person behind him. I would ask you to watch out for Monica, but I don't want you near her. That will be Dillion's job, ok? That and watching out for Tracy. I love you both very much, even if I don't show it very often."

    Dillion choked back tears, "Of course Alan."

    "You will make it through this Alan, you have the best team behind you." Ned said in a calm, strong voice. "Dillion will you give me a minute with Alan?"

    "Sure. Be strong Alan." Dillion backed out of the room and Ned looked into Alan's eyes. "I want to tell you something but I want you to keep it a secret. I know you will come out of this but I want to give you something more to live for. AJ is on his way back in case you didn't know. Hopefully you will see him before surgery. What I am about to tell you, my mother doesn't even know and I don't want her to know. James, Brenda's son is also mine."

    Alan smiled weakly. "Ned, thank you for trusting me enough to tell me that. I can see why you wouldn't want everyone to know. I won't tell anyone, even Monica. Can you please send Emily and Jason in here?"

    Ned walked out and moitioned for Jason and Emily to go see Alan. When they reached his room, Emily burst into tears. Alan held out his hand and Emily leaned over and kissed him. "Thank you Dad for welcoming me into your family and loving me so much. I learned so much from you and love you very much." She backed away and let Jason sit down.

    "Jason, there is so much you don't remember. I was a bad father to you at times but I love you very much." Alan said in a strained voice, "I have so many regrets with you and I wish I could fix so much. Whatever you have become, I am proud that you are my son and I vow to always stand behind you."

    Jason squeezed Alan's hand, "I know you do Alan. What's past is past. We can only move forward."

    "Thank you so much for being here. Your mother will appreciate your strength as will Emily. They will need you Jason."

    Emily and Jason exited the room. "Jason I can't go back in there quite yet. I will be back in a minute." Emily walked towards to ladies room where she ran into Elizabeth and Brenda.

    "Emily, I am so sorry for Alan. How is he doing?" Elizabeth asked, concerned.

    Emily wiped her eyes, "He's ok. Brenda, you can go through those doors. Ned is waiting for you." She paused as Brenda made her way into the waiting room. "It is very serious Elizabeth."

    "I know. I called Nikolas as soon as I heard and he will be here soon. I thought you might want him here." Elizabeth said.

    "Well, you thought wrong." Emily stated. "Stop butting into my life and don't let him into the room, got it? Or I will have you fired from this hospital."

    Elizabeth was taken aback. "Ok Emily, I am sorry. I was just trying to help."

    "You are not helping in the least. Just stay away from and my family and that includes my fiance." Emily turned on her heels and walked away. She left a stunned Elizabeth and Nikolas, who had just walked up.


    "Well Alan, are you trying to take all the attention from me again?" Tracy smiled through her tears as she sat down across from Alan. "Alan, this isn't suppossed to happen to you."

    "Thank God there are no pills around." Alan tried to joke.

    Tracy grimaced, "Low blow Alan."

    "I had to get one in before I go." Alan said.

    Tracy grabbed his hand and said in a determined voice, "Listen here Alan, you will not be "going" anywhere. You will have this surgery and you will be fine. Then you and I will be back to normal and insulting each other as usual, with your wife threatening to throw me out of the house. Do I make myself clear?"

    "Crystal. Tracy I am getting really tired. Can you send Father in here?" Alan said quietly. "And Tracy, you know that even though you and I fight a lot, I do love you a lot. You certainly make life interesting."

    Tracy leaned over and kissed him. "He will be right in." Tracy walked out and into the waiting room. She walked up to her father and threw her arms around him, crying. Ned extricated her so that Edward could go see Alan.

    "Oh Father, you probably look worse than me." Alan said when Edward walked into the room.

    Edward settled himself in the chair next to Alan's bed. "Oh Son. This shouldn't be happening. It should be me here, not you. The parent is supposed to go before the child. This can't be happening Alan, it can't be." Edward's eyes began to tear up.

    Alan reached over and brushed his father's hair back. "Father, I am a stubborn old mule, just like you. I will make it through this and then I will start the treatments to get better. Everything will work out Father."

    "Alan, I feel like I have screwed up your life so many times. I screwed up all the grandkids. Look at Jason's. God forbid AJ. I am sorry you won't be able to see Michael." Edward said ashe grasped Alan's hand.

    "I wouldn't want Michael to see me like this. I am not going to be my suave, debonair self when I come out of this. Oh Father, please know that whatever has happened, I love you very much."

    Edward choked back his tears, "I love you too son. Look, I will let you rest. If AJ or Skye get here soon, we will send them in to see you. Remember, we all love you."

    Edward walked out and leaned against the wall. It was then that he gave into his tears and cried.


    Skye rushed into the waiting room and ran to Ned. "Is he ok? Can I see him?"

    Ned sat Skye down next to him and Brenda, "Monica is in with him right now. Now that Dr Hayward is here, he will go under anesthesia very shortly. Dr Hayward has to meet with Dr Drake and they will go over everything and brief Monica, who will tell us everything. But the surgery will start shortly I assume. He looked very weak when I saw him."

    "David told me all about these aneuryisms. He has treated them many times before and has been successful with them. I don't care for David on a personal level, but he is a good doctor." Skye told everyone after she said hello to everyone. "Brenda, is that your child?"

    "Yes. His name is James Edward. I hear you have a child as well. Where is she?" Brenda responded.

    "I left him with Leticia, I hope you don't mind. I didn't think this was the place for a child." Skye said.

    Tracy interjected, "At least someone, even if it is Skye has some common sense."

    "Mother." Ned warned.

    There was a commotion at the door and it flung open. "Where is my father?" AJ demanded, Sarah Webber at his side.
